Description

From influential primary headteacher Rachel Snape, author of The Headteachers Handbook, comes The Curriculum Compendium, the ultimate guide to curriculum design. Drawing on examples from across the globe, The Curriculum Compendium examines situations in which schools have successfully designed curricula to meet the needs of their pupils. Full of inspiring real-life case studies, this book encourages teachers and school leaders to rethink, transform, improve and enhance their curriculum. Written by members of staff at leading schools, each case study provides the reader with a range of suggested approaches to try. They explore the context of the school, the intent, implementation and impact behind the curriculum vision, how the school turned the vision into reality, along with key takeaways for other schools. The book provides reflective questions and space to write or draw ideas for curriculum design in their own school.
